City begins plans for street rejuvenation
The city’s giving over $1.3 million for the first two of its street rejuvenation plans, these being for St-Paul east of the Main, and a northern segment of Pie-IX.

The St-Paul one is a long time coming. For one of Montreal’s prettiest streets it’s a pretty miserable pedestrian experience because of the overly narrow sidewalks east of St-Laurent.

Oh no – got my directions confused. I meant *west* of St-Laurent, which is of course not covered by this funding.

St-Paul West is a pedestrian street in summertime. East was a minor scandal a couple of years back, when there was excavation outside Bonsecours church, leaving a big black patch of asphalt among the cobblestones. I haven’t been to see what it’s like now. There was talk then of faux cobbles while proper repairs were sorted out.

I live on saint paul west. Its not pedestrianized in the summer. Saint paul east is, starting at saint laurent.
They might as well pedestrianize it though. The crowds are big enough that they can’t fit on the side walks and constantly spill all over the road.
